I played Clark Park today on my way back to CR from Wildcat and I hope you never hold a tournament again. I picked up about 100 beer cans (mostly Coors Light, that were fresh), about a half dozen glow sticks off the baskets, and a Coors Light beer box. You guys left this park in udder disgrace. The way I hear it this is not the first time one of your events has left a course a mess, this is a very good way for parks departments to no longer allow new courses and to pull current courses. I hope the rest event you hold (if there is one) a bunch of dedicated DGers show up tell you what’s up. I was not happy to see this

I wouldn't lie, I pulled them off of two baskets (holes 1 and 16), and picked up a few that where on the ground. I also pulled clear tape off of about half the baskets. Proof: you used two glow stick’s per hole, one next to the other vertically facing the tee, taped to the pole in the sweet spot with clear tape on the top and bottom of the sticks./color]

*Secondly the beer cans were not from anyone in my group as I was the last group to throw. [color=red]I played Clark Park at about 11:30 am on Saturday and it was a tad brisk and super windy. These factors and the location lead me to doubt a bunch of chuckers were out in the AM drinking a case and trashing the course.

*This was halloween night and we were out of there about 9pm so what ever happened after that I cannot be held responsible for. See above reasons....... and Clark Park is nowhere near a residential area where chuckers will go hang out to drink beers, especially for glow. The cans happened to follow the holes perfectly and many were at the many rock piles by the tee's.

*Also 3 of Hiawatha's finest made an appearance as we were ending about 9pm and came and talked to us and even threw a couple discs. If the park was in such disarray they would have said something, they shined there lights on the entire park. The majority of the cans were on the back 9 or holes near the back of the park. (hard to see from the parking lot) and the ones that were on the front of the course were along the grass planting or among the rock piles (again hard to see)

I don't know you or have a beef with you so I wouldn't make this shit up. I lived in Cedar Rapids for many years and know the trend of the chuckers, they mainly are at Jones, a few at Shaver and after Chuckers have their way with Shaver it usually looks better than how I found Clark. Bottom line I have a hard time believing anyone with that amount of beer and motivation to play a complete round was there playing a round between 9:00pm and 11:30am. It could have happened but it's highly unlikely.

This is the best that I can do and offer. (im not one of those high school kids at jones chucking bottles and trash as they please, i am usually the exact opposite of that).

-I hope this clears some things up, im not trying to make enemies or create drama as my goal is to throw a night tournie monthly if possible and with the support of other local and non local dgers.

I am the one that cleaned up after you at Clark and I accept your apology; I don’t know if the local's have or not but that's for them to decide. I assure you that there will be people keeping a close eye on your next event and will be there as soon as it’s over to make sure everything is copacetic. I hope your next event goes well and has a very clean ending.

Fat F'n chance, hombre. I'm planning on showing at the next one. I'm gonna be getting dirty and trashy all over that course.
